illlPEltlAL To 1117/ whom, 2125 may concern:

Be it known that I, Emir L. KRAo, a citizen of the United States,residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and useful improvements in Cabinets, of which thefollowing is a specification. I I

One of the objects of this invention is the production of a light,strong, and rigid cabi net of simple construction.

A further object of the invention is the production of a cabinetembodying the improvements in details set forth hereinafter.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a horizontal section throughthis improved cabinet on dotted line 1 1. of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is avertical section through. said cabinet on dotted line 2 of Fig. 1. Fig.3 is a transverse vertical section on dotted lire 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4is a section on dotted line 4 4 of Fig. 1, showing on an enlarged scaleone of the vertical rods of the cabinet. Fig. 5 is a perspective viewillustrating one of the sectional partitions.

1n the construction of this cabinet I provide a rectangular base A, ofangleiron, having front and back bars A and A and end bars A and A whichfront and back bars are provided in the horizontally extending flange ofthe angle-iron with the openings A Side walls .8 and the back wall aresecured in any suitable manner to the base A, as by rivets passingthrough the lower edges of said side and back walls, and the verticalllangcs oi the end and rear bars A, A, and A oi the base A.

A bottom plate D is adapted the base A within the inclosure formed bythe side walls B and rear wall C, and this bottom plate is provided withholes l), coinciding with the openings A in the front and. back bars Aand A of the base. The bot tom plate D may have an integral apron D tocover the front bar A of thebase A. Rods E are adapted to extend throughthe openings A" and D, which rods are provided with the heads E, lyingbelow the horizontal flange of the front and rear bars A and A and attheir upper ends are scre -threaded to receive nuts Sectional-partitionsF, having integral end sleeves F, are formed of sheet metal, saidsleeves F niit them to he lipped over the verticalrods E.

being of a size just sull'icient to per- Patented Jan. 23, 1906.

Shelves G, having a length equal to the space between the side walls Band a width equal to that of the bottom plate D, are provided, each ofthese shelves having downturned integral flanges G and G at its ends andrear edge, respectively, and a finishingroll G at its forward edge. Theshelves are also provided with openings G correspondbottom plate D.

In assembling this cabinet the bottom plate D is laid upon the base Aand the headcd rods E passed. through the coinciding o enings A and D ofthe base and bottom p ate, respectively. A sectional partition F:

as next placed between each pair of the rods E and a shell G put inposition upon said partitions. A second transverse series of partitionsis next put in lace and then another shelf, and so on until the propernumber of shelves is had. The shelves and partitions are now clampedtogether by means of the nuts E, which are placed upon the threadedupper ends of the rods E and screwed down against the top shelf G. Endwalls 8 and a rear wall'C are next secured to the base A by rivets or inany other suitable inannerand the shelves G secured to said end wallsand rear wall also in any suitable manner, as by rivets passing throughthe flanges G and G of said shelves and through the end walls B and therear wall C.

.1 am aware that various changes may be made in the construction hereinshown without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention,wherefore I desire not to limit myself to the precise details herein setforth.

I claim as my invention 1. in a cabinet, in combination, a base; rodsextending upwardly therefrom; a plurality of shelves; and a series ofpartitions adapted to be strung upon saidrods and to be interposedbetween said shelves.

rods extending upwardly therefrom; a bottom plate having openingscoinciding with said rods a series of shelves also having openingscoinciding with said rods and partitions adapted to be strung upon saidrods and to be interposed between said shelves.

8. In a cabinet, in combination, a base; rods extending upwardlytherefrom; a bottom plate having openings coinciding with said rode, aseries of shelves also having opening in position with the openings D"of the 2. In a cabinet in combination a base 7 7 ings coinciding withsaid rods; partitions adapted to be strung upon said rods and to beinterposed between said shelves; and means for holding said shelves andpartitions upon said rods.

4. In a cabinet, in combination, a base having a back bar, a front barand end bars;

rods extending throu h said back bar and' said front bar; end walls anda back wall for said cabinet a bottom plate having openings coincidingwith said rods; a series of shelves also havin openings coinciding withthe rods partitions having integral sleeves ad ap ted to receive saidrods, said partitions being placed between adjacent shelves to spacesaidshelves upon said rods; and means on the rods for clamping theshelves, partitions and base together.

5. In a cabinet, in combination, a base;- rods extending upwardlytherefrom; end

walls and a back wall; a plurality of shelves on said rods, said shelvesbeing provided with flanges at their ends and rear edges, which ',basetogether.
